Ralph Castain 6310361532 At long last, the fabled revision to the affinity system has arrived. A more detailed explanation of how this all works will be presented here:
https://svn.open-mpi.org/trac/ompi/wiki/ProcessPlacement

The wiki page is incomplete at the moment, but I hope to complete it over the next few days. I will provide updates on the devel list. As the wiki page states, the default and most commonly used options remain unchanged (except as noted below). New, esoteric and complex options have been added, but unless you are a true masochist, you are unlikely to use many of them beyond perhaps an initial curiosity-motivated experimentation.

In a nutshell, this commit revamps the map/rank/bind procedure to take into account topology info on the compute nodes. I have, for the most part, preserved the default behaviors, with three notable exceptions:

1. I have at long last bowed my head in submission to the system admin's of managed clusters. For years, they have complained about our default of allowing users to oversubscribe nodes - i.e., to run more processes on a node than allocated slots. Accordingly, I have modified the default behavior: if you are running off of hostfile/dash-host allocated nodes, then the default is to allow oversubscription. If you are running off of RM-allocated nodes, then the default is to NOT allow oversubscription. Flags to override these behaviors are provided, so this only affects the default behavior.

2. both cpus/rank and stride have been removed. The latter was demanded by those who didn't understand the purpose behind it - and I agreed as the users who requested it are no longer using it. The former was removed temporarily pending implementation.

3. vm launch is now the sole method for starting OMPI. It was just too darned hard to maintain multiple launch procedures - maybe someday, provided someone can demonstrate a reason to do so.

As Jeff stated, it is impossible to fully test a change of this size. I have tested it on Linux and Mac, covering all the default and simple options, singletons, and comm_spawn. That said, I'm sure others will find problems, so I'll be watching MTT results until this stabilizes.

This commit was SVN r25476.

# This is the default system-wide MCA parameters defaults file.
# Specifically, the MCA parameter "mca_param_files" defaults to a
# value of
# "$HOME/.openmpi/mca-params.conf:$sysconf/openmpi-mca-params.conf"
# (this file is the latter of the two). So if the default value of
# mca_param_files is not changed, this file is used to set system-wide
# MCA parameters. This file can therefore be used to set system-wide
# default MCA parameters for all users. Of course, users can override
# these values if they want, but this file is an excellent location
# for setting system-specific MCA parameters for those users who don't
# know / care enough to investigate the proper values for them.
# Note that this file is only applicable where it is visible (in a
# filesystem sense). Specifically, MPI processes each read this file
# during their startup to determine what default values for MCA
# parameters should be used. mpirun does not bundle up the values in
# this file from the node where it was run and send them to all nodes;
# the default value decisions are effectively distributed. Hence,
# these values are only applicable on nodes that "see" this file. If
# $sysconf is a directory on a local disk, it is likely that changes
# to this file will need to be propagated to other nodes. If $sysconf
# is a directory that is shared via a networked filesystem, changes to
# this file will be visible to all nodes that share this $sysconf.
# The format is straightforward: one per line, mca_param_name =
# rvalue. Quoting is ignored (so if you use quotes or escape
# characters, they'll be included as part of the value). For example:
# Disable run-time MPI parameter checking
# mpi_param_check = 0
# Note that the value "~/" will be expanded to the current user's home
# directory. For example:
# Change component loading path
# component_path = /usr/local/lib/openmpi:~/my_openmpi_components
# See "ompi_info --param all all" for a full listing of Open MPI MCA
# parameters available and their default values.
